I suppose it may show that AWAD is not being used in any school, at least by any teacher who posts here.
As far as vocabulary studies go, a close friend of mine--a high school guidance counselor--says that she advises students to read as much as possible on a wide range of subjects. From what she's learned over the years about high scores on the SAT (a least), the best predicter of high achievement in the vocabulary part of the test is a student's reading habits, even over the study of foreign language. I have no idea how true this is, but that's her opinion based on what she's read.
Just an aside: I love working the analogy parts of the test. (Are they being dropped out?) I didn't like the reading parts because I like to read slowly and can't stand being forced into speed reading.
